I chopped into the mother plant (on accident) but then went ahead and just dug it all out. There were a few roots wrapped around a Musa Basjoo that I left in place because I didn't want to harm the banana, that's what's regenerated into the plant pictured. Pretty cool huh?danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-18606478927316320742013-04-26T09:33:05.898-07:002013-04-26T09:33:05.898-07:00I agree that the bud phase is the best part of mos...I agree that the bud phase is the best part of most blooms...guess it's the promise implied. I was surprised to see lupine in your garden, but leave it to you to find one with exotic leaf forms. The hummers adore the blooms of Melianthus. About those migrating plants: they do seem to have minds of their own. I've been blaming the gophers for bowling with bulbs down in their burrows, but maybe some of the plantsd are nomadic all on their own.rickihttp://bannersbyricki.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-54822745479649333122013-04-26T08:09:17.456-07:002013-04-26T08:09:17.456-07:00I've been lucky in that we've had pretty m...I've been lucky in that we've had pretty mild winters since I planted it. This one, the Echium x wildpretii 'Rocket,’ is actually a little hardier (in my experience) than the straight Echium wildpretii which sustained some damage this last winter (a few nights down to 23). danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-54003390919144379592013-04-26T08:06:28.752-07:002013-04-26T08:06:28.752-07:00Do you like the Rodgersia flowers?

Do you have to protect it at all during the winter? We do have to cover it with remay if it gets down below 25F. Looking forward to seeing it bloom.
